Yes, the 116R model uses compact cassettes. No perfo magnetic film.
There is a provision for pilotone track.
The one in the article should be an earlier one. Its dated 1974.
116R was on the market in 1976.

Re: Eclair ACL II Motor
Hi Stuart,
The electronic control board (single board) is located in the body base.
Why do you want a replacement motor? Are you sure that your motor has some issues? Its difficult to find one spare. It was made by French Thomson-CSF. Also replacing the motor requires shutter/claw sync adjustment ...

Looking for scans of ELMO SA-1 and DR-1 manuals
Dear Members,
I am looking for the ELMO CINEMATIC SOUND DR-1 and SYNCHRO SOUND SA-1 manual scans. SR-1 and A-1 will be also helpful, I think.
Any help is highly appreciated!

Re: Bolex H16 RX Light metering
Hi guys,
I never understand that Bolex didn't switched to the mirror reflex system after some time although this system is well adopted to others. Bolex perhaps wanted to stay as an amateur camera supplier except the unsuccessful PRO design made by eumig. That's why they don't need the T/stops ...
